Me seeing his college run I had an idea now everyone in the nba was amazing in college but using the excuse that he was to skinny is dumb asf considering there's hella skinny all time players
@@kidtherell2226 id imagine they said that at the time bc he was shorter at the time and the league at the time wasn’t oriented around the 3 ball at the time
for the beginning of his career his 2-pt shot was bascially from the 3 point line. He was taking ALOT of long 2's and mark jackson told him to just take 3's instead.
“If you look back forever, there’s nobody who plays like him” says ESPN’s Hubie Brown, who has witnessed most of NBA history as a coach or analyst. “There’s nobody that size, that can shoot from that distance, shoot that percentage, go to the foul line, shoot over 90 [percent], handle the basketball like it’s part of his hand and move to wherever he wants to go and keep you off balance as a defender.” {source: ‘Wilt.

Steph is without a doubt the greatest player ever to have legitimately 0 expectations of any success coming into the league. He humbly hoped for 6 years as a role player himself. No one thought he'd even be a single time all-star. Giannis and Jokic both have massively developed from rookies as well, but neither of them will have shifted the culture and the game itself like Steph has. Crazy how Giannis and Jokic did it almost at the exact same time. Those are the only 3 I can think of. I dont think any other multi-time MVP and champion has ever came into the league with such low expectations.
Previous once in a generational talent had the rules change because of them, this dude has the entire league change because of him. Unprecedented folks
@@sba8710 Nah. What draft/playmaking/personnel changes are different today because of Shaq? The man was a generational, once in a blue moon Freak Of Nature. Changing things because of that doesn't make sense. Changing things because of a newly discovered skillset absolutely does.
You can tell people who haven’t watch the NBA regularly and I just bandwagon fans. There was legitimate concerns early in Steph Curry‘s career because he was injury prone and had bad ankles. Steph was just lucky to enter the league when they got rid of handchecking, and all the physicality of the 90s. Had he played in an earlier era he would not be the Steph Curry that we know today.
The Kobe comparison hasn’t really held up since the game evolved to such a different state where analytics prioritized 3s over 2s and restricted area over midrange. Kobe was a notoriously “inefficient” shooter, favoring the mid range fadeaway and post game. So it’s a bit apples to oranges, and hard to stack up anyone to true shooting by the greatest shooter of all time. I remember watching that stretch by Kobe when it happened and I’ll tell you I’d put it up with any stretch by any player in dominance rating
@@shimbo718 yes he did. and he was right. Does that mean anyone thought Steph would be top 10 player in NBA history though? Why wasn't he the first pick in draft then.
I mean they were right, he's not a "true" point guard. He created his own archtype of off the ball, 3-point shooting point guards and when you pair that with his injury history it was far more rational to undervalue him than to say he would be one of the all time greats. Hindsight is 20/20.
Can't really blame them. Steph is one of a kind. Who could have predicted what he was gonna be. I bet y'all would think the same back in the day before he became who he is now. This was also during the time that the NBA believed you couldn't win a championship with shooters. Like the guy said, no one knew the league would change into a guard leaf shooting game. All I am saying is chill with the insults, it's okay to be wrong. Don't act like you haven't been wrong before
I NEVER questioned his ability, there have been smaller players that had good NBA careers. I did start to worry about his ankles, because I suffer from that myself and it gets to a point where it’s just not possible to recover from. But he focused on his weak spots, changed his training, strengthened his ankles, and now he’s a GOAT. Zion can’t even pit down the donuts🤦. curry’s got that Mamba in him.
Just glad basketball returned to what it really was, shooting. To be a good shooter and not how it evolved before to be just a bigman's game on a wrestling match. Now anybody can play.
Curry is my favorite player ever next to Kobe, but the experts were right at the time. Curry is the ultimate outlier...even more so than Kobe. Like someone said in here, a player like Steph was not suppose to exist.
Really now are you people God how do you mean he was not supposed to exist the mere FACT that he’s here and so great tells you everything. God says not you people
The entire GSW roster apart from Wiggs was a bound to fail motley crew of maybes and unlikely to succeed. Noone has given them a chance to shine, pure underdogs
This isn’t a “NBA analyst’s reaction video”. No hate just saying an accurate title would gain more views in the long term. AMAZING analysis of “Steph’s impact on the NBA”
@@eazzycheesy6642 Um no, he didn’t gain the muscle until after his MVP years. He did it so he would remain strong and sturdy as he got older. Pay attention.
You really can’t blame the scouts for there takes you didn’t mention the game was played deferent someone like Curry was never even supposed to exist 😂 as a Bay Area native none of us were happy when he came but dam he live bro now 😂

@@vivianpangilinan9783harden is a damn very good player. The only reason he's got no ring yet is he regresses in the playoffs. Dude can't deal with pressure
Well, I am sad thinking about future when Steph will retire and so does Lebron, NBA will end for me. I don’t think I will ever have a desire to watch any of NBA game, let me say like Stephen S said “ Steph curry is the best shooter in the planet. Period”. True.
Keep in mind that most youtubers outsource the editing to someone else. So he probably had someone who doesn't watch basketball and lives under a rock, but still I'm sure it wasn't him who did that. He probably doesn't even know that happened.
They keep saying Steph is not "athletic" enough... What does 'athletic' even mean? Have you seen how much Steph runs around, how much, how hard players chase after him. I guess 'athletic' in the NBA means dunking ability.
Wilt averaged 50 ppg for a season… so 37 ppg for a month while huge isn’t the best offensive stats ever. Oh and he never average below 36.9 ppg in his first 7 years, while averaging over 20 rpg too.
In the fastest paced era ever, with the lowest shooting percentages ever, of course you will get that many rebounds as a big. Any competent shooter, who had the opportunity to take that many shots, would have averaged 50 in that era. Many of the more efficient, great scorers, would average much more than 50. Wilt averaged nearly 40 shots per game (39.5) when he averaged 50 points, that many attempts is unheard of. For reference, the most attempts per game from MJ is 27, he averaged 37ppg that year. MJ averages 60 if not more in any era on that many shots. Wilt was a beneficiary of his time, and arguably the biggest stat padder all time, but I digress. He only started winning when he played team ball more. He was dominant for sure, but I would Shaq was clearly more dominant. Taking all that into account, I would personally say he's not one of the top5 scorers of all time.
2:41. I paused there.. that note isn't saying what you implied.. Don't make a story from fake quotes, highlighting words w/o a context. Lame journalism, beating the topic cause Steph's movie happened, without proper preparation. Block to this shit.
Kobe has smush Parker and Kwame Brown in his starting line up, how do you expect the opponents not to suffocate him? And yet he did that 43 ppg in a month in the slowest pace of all time, Curry is great, but there’s no need to disrespect Kobe to boost up Steph
